Anyone who knows me, knows without question, that I am an Ina Garten fan. Correction- I am a mega fan. Not a day goes by that Ina isn’t on my mind. When I am stumped on a cooking or ingredient problem I ask myself constantly, “WWID?” (What would Ina do?) I think of her as my culinary soul mate- she just doesn’t know it it yet!
Reliability
I own every single one of the Ina’s cookbooks, also known as the Barefoot Contessa cookbooks. The reason why I am so loyal to Ina and her cookbooks is because they are reliable. I have made countless recipes of hers, many featured and recommended on this website.
Accuracy
Ina’s cookbooks feature incredible pictures that are actually real and accurately represent what the recipe will look like if you follow the directions correctly. See below are decide for yourself:
